To quote legendary financier Sanford Weill, "details create the overall dish." Though Weill was likely speaking about business, nothing may well be more accurate when it comes to wedding style. Brides often focus so intently on his or her gowns that they can neglect the significance about details; namely, accessories.

Wedding accessories like headpieces, shoes and jewelry add those special finishing touches to create an overall image of wedding ensemble perfection. But not just any veil or satin heel is going to do. With a little amount of know-how, you can creatively coordinate look. Here are some tips for coordinating your wedding accessories to match your personal style.

Tiaras, glitz and sky-high heels. A little bit diva plus a lot delightful, many glamour girls get pegged with all the "bridezilla" label. Deep down, they're simply misunderstood. They know what they want, if they have it, they're happy. And what, exactly, means they are happy?

A must in every color for glamour girls spanning various ages.

Shoes, of course, are necessary for this beautiful bride. Heels. The higher the better. The Dyeable Satin Platform with Ornament Ring Detail does not disappoint. This stacked platform is hip, saucy and includes a sparkling rhinestone brooch accent for added glam power.
